please join me in daily thoughts about the book of Mark
David Aylin - MARK'S GOSPEL is the earliest written record of the life of Christ, possibly about 65 AD, just after Peter was killed. Mark was the son of Mary who hosted the early church meetings in her home . (see internet St Mark's Monastery, Jerusalem.) After martyrdom in Alexandria, Egypt, Mark's body was stolen by Venetians and taken to Mark's Square, Venice. His skull is in the Coptic Cathedral in Cairo. Mark emphasises the humanity of Christ without diminishing His divinity.
